![]() Not just any information, but truths that people keep to themselves. Katrina says, "This law is about the power of information. Yes, this law seems to have strayed from the law of power to the ethics of friendship. Power to me is acknowledging and preferring the “lame” and “boring” choice of being the better man. During my days as a human however, I wouldn’t spy on my friends/rivals even if I had the slightest chance. As a response to your question, I would use invisibility to become a superhero for one day as I’ve always dreamed of helping people in an extremely extraordinary way. However, what this law does not tackle is the question of ethics and I presume that this is because the matter of what is good and bad should be left to the discretion of the user of the technique him/herself. ![]() By posing as a friend and working as a spy, it aids to know how to soften one's rival up (Law 43), to obscure one’s motives, or, since being a spy requires flexibility, to know how to be “all things to all men” (Law 25). Throughout history, information has always been the key, and this law shows how people have resorted to even the riskiest of techniques just to work it to their advantage. Whatever it is, it'll come out on it's own anyway, because all truths are revealed eventually. Such things are kept from us for certain reasons, and they should be kept that way. This "snooping around" should never be applied to the personal lives of others, though. What is the point of living in a world without truth and trust? As for spying, I guess you could do it if you were working for the government or if finding out such truths from your opponent was crucial for the security of your life or for the lives of those around you. If everyone lived out such a concept, everybody would have to look over their shoulder and be wary of all people who came their way. Friends are supposed to be people you can trust and rely on. I believe that there is no good in faking sincerities or niceties just to get secrets from someone. Personally, I don't think I can handle faking sincerity just to get closer to a person. If you were given the power to be invisible for a day, what would you use it for? Spying on your enemy? Friend? Crush/boyfriend/girlfriend? Family? ![]() Then he would banish both subjects for disloyalty.Īre you a true friend or in some way a spy? Do you have true friends? How would you feel if you discovered you were being used for information? If he saw that the other subject started acting differently, he would know that the secret was told. ![]() A Persian king, Chosroes II, told a subject a fake secret about another subject. The third is to test people to give away things about themselves. The Germans felt this reversal against the Nazis when the sent spies to England who were giving wrong information when the Nazis discovered them. The person you are paying to spy might reveal your spying or work against you. This is a powerful method but can also backfire. The best way is to get people who are already close to the person you are spying on and pay them to spy for you. Another is to get someone to spy for you. He had a gift of getting secrets out of people while looking sincere. A French politician, Talleyard, practiced this. But if executed properly, you not only gain information but allies too. You must put up a sincere front so the other doesn’t see through the friendship. One is to pretend to be friends while actually getting close enough to know things only friends would. This law is about the power of information.
